    Is "Tell The Truth" a ripoff of Alannah Myles "Black Velvet" ?

    Before the flaming begins, I'd like to say i'm a huge fan of the ALAE album as well as, "Tell The Truth".

    But I heard them both on CD back to back... and they sound so similiar it's disguisting...

      dave has always "stolen" this and that...but it's more the rhythm how "tell the truth" is sung...the chorus is totally different...it's bluesy and sometimes the blues sounds like the blues...loons?

              Yes, and...

              I've always thought Last Call sounds like Walk This Way, the way he sings it.

                      Got the same vibe, instrumentally.

                      Lyrics couldn't be farther apart, though.

                          I'm sure 'Black Velvet' was stolen from something else but I'm too drunk to remember the name of the song.

                          I would guess that Roth and Alannah 'here today gone later this afternoon' Myles both ripped off the same people.

                              Still a good tune man. Just dig what Dave did on that album

                                  but, but, but... who's song came first?? I have no idea, but I'll guess Alana Myles??!!
                                  I'm very proud of what was that band and what was that show and what it did mean to people. It disgusts me that it has turned into the complete opposite. That it now represents everything that I spoke against, that we suppoesedly represented the converse of. I don't want to have to remember that the team turned into that. Makes me question what the team was while I was a member. Was it all bullshit? If nothing else, it confirms in my mind that from my standpoint - yours truly, David Lee - not a fraction. If nothing else, this kind of morbid, wounded animal anger aimed my way has caused me to look deep into that bathroom mirror and come back to you with "my shit was legit." It was for real. And perhaps the test is time. Because here I am, a decade and a half later, haven't changed much. I look a little different, but not much. My sense of humour is about the same.

                                      Like Dave allways says: we steal from everyone and then we call it inspiration.
